As wearable technology keeps evolving our relationship with our environments, the debut of the Samsung Galaxy RING is another milestone on the pathway. Here’s everything you need to know about the device which puts the future right at your fingertips – and what we can’t wait to see it do next.
Samsung is no slouch when it comes to wearable tech, but with the Galaxy RING, they’re planning to do a lot more than just make another smartwatch alternative. Expected to be released in the second half of 2024, this device signals a different kind of future in tech, but one that gets decidedly more intimate.
It’s hard to pinpoint an exact release date for the Galaxy RING, but Samsung says it’ll be unveiled ‘in [the] second half of 2024’, with strong hints that it’ll happen at a Samsung Unpacked event on 10 July 2024. And guess what? The whole space-tech scene is buzzing.
The Galaxy RING was confirmed at MWC 2024, when Samsung told the world that its cutting-edge wearable would come packed with a robust sleep-tracking feature, fertility tracking, as well as a heart-rate monitor. Its patented 30‐day battery life and unobtrusive styling will blur the boundaries between function and fashion in ways we’ve only been able to dream about.
But Samsung pulled back the cloak this week to reveal how it was designing the Galaxy RING to be compatible with a host of ‘advanced’ functionalities, including some form of augmented-consort (smart-) home integration, but importantly also as XR glasses. It’s the latter that pushes the Galaxy RING back into the wearables future.
But punchy bits of wearable tech such as the Galaxy RING, as sleek and sophisticated as they may be, will have a price – various leaks suggest around $300-350. That would put the Galaxy RING in the luxury gadget bracket, but replaceable and potentially invaluable nonetheless. Some leaks also suggest a monthly subscription under $10.
Whether waiting for the Samsung Galaxy RING’s release, or taking a more pragmatic approach and buying one of the current best offerings such as the Oura Ring 3 or the Circular Ring, the choice is a personal one. For those wanting to pair with Apple or embedded in the Samsung ecosphere, or who want to believe that the future is in our grasp, the Galaxy RING is definitely a product to watch.
The Galaxy RING is much more than a gimmick for wearing computers: it is a glimpse into a future in which technology quietly adds value to every aspect of our lives. Efficient, discreet, style-making and tech-making, the Galaxy RING is poised to raise the bar on our expectation for wearable computing. Samsung’s Galaxy RING is scheduled for launch soon. When it does, one thing will definitely be true: the future is in our hands.
